Plato’s Cave is an allegory for scientific education illuminating things we previously didn’t understand.
It’s literally about how about critiquing things scientifically gives us the power to leave ‘the cave’ (critiquing stuff being something Philosophers were pretty fond of.)
I spend most of my spare time doing community organizing when I’m not getting exposed to radioactive liberalism at work.
The cave analogy really feels like projection when you’re the one dropping cryptic references to conversations happening in other corners of the cave like I give a shit about what’s on the wall over there.
I generally think people can be worked with and aren’t intrinsically evil. It’s specifically that get all essentialist about peoples biology vis a vis their usefulness to society and that’s why they get the pit.
Understanding where people are and not wanting to insult them is very different from giving them free reign to hurt other people.
it’s more like NATO’s Cave, with the inability of Chapo Chat to move past media criticism of the associated press
Again, not even close to what that analogy represents.
Expand on that, champ. What could be more plato’s cave than sitting around critiquing the shadows ad infinitum instead of leaving

Congratulations, you encountered something you didn’t understand.

No actually the analogy is about science, you’re not allowed to use it that way

I’m just aghast wondering how someone could possibly be this far off base, it’s truly incredible
